Parking: Buffalo Bills stadium plans: NFL owners pushing for new facility - Buffalo Rumblings Buffalo Rumblings Rec Other owners in the National Football League are publicly pressuring Kim and Terry Pegula to get moving on a new stadium for the Buffalo Bills . The team's current home, Ralph Wilson Stadium, was built when the AFL and NFL merged, in 1970. From the owners meetings this week, an anonymous source told Vic Carucci of The Buffalo News that The Ralph was one of the "three worst stadiums in the league" from the NFL's perspective.

You'd have a hard time finding many fans that attend games who would agree with that statement but New York Giants owner John Mara, tenant of a recently-built stadium in New Jersey went on record. "It gets tougher and tougher to compete when all these new stadiums are going up and they are going to be at a disadvantage, I think, somewhat competitively unless they get one," Mara said. "We’d all like to see them get a new building." The "we" is of course other NFL owners who see a share of the revenue generated at stadiums. Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie echoed Mara's comments saying, "In general, older stadiums need to be made financially competitive. It's a must. It makes the odds a lot tougher. You need to have a viable, financially well-thought-out stadium to compete in the league." According to Carucci's source, other owners would like to see a new stadium built within five years. That seems like a stretch but doable given the time put in by the Stadium Working Group prior to the Pegula's purchase of the organization, but team president Russ Brandon said just two months ago that the Bills weren't focusing on a new stadium .

The team, County, and State recently renovated the stadium to the tune of $130 million, a figure seen as a waste of money on the league level when it could have been put toward a brand new facility or major upgrade. "I don’t think it’s urgent like it has to happen tomorrow," Mara continued. "But I think, for the long-term best interests of that franchise, they need to be in a new building. Listen, we’ve been in much worse stadiums, believe me. And they still have great fan support. But there’s a growing disparity in income between the top quartile teams and the bottom quartile teams, and that’s something we have to be conscious of. And a new stadium would help them a great deal." As one very interested in ticket sales and the stadium experience, Brandon is quick to defend the decisions the Bills have made. "Obviously, you always have great respect for what your (league) partners,' said Brandon, "but we have to focus on what makes sense for us, what makes sense for our community, for our business partners." Brandon cited the things most actual fans in attendance like about attending games; tailgating and sight lines are both first-rate.

He also mentioned that the team has to be affordable in Western New York in order to continue generating customers, which limits the "bells and whistles" people are willing to pay for. In surveys conducted by the team of season ticket holders and other stakeholders, the stadium is never brought up as an issue with fans. "We've seen a great rebirth in Buffalo that everyone's excited about, but we're not a multi-Fortune 500 city," Brandon said. "So we want to make it right for the long-term future of the organization from what our fans want and from what our stakeholders want." One surprising public proponent of the Bills is Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Calling the Pegulas one of the "top five" NFL owners, Jones trusts the owners of the Bills to take their time, understand the needs of the team and fans, and address the facilities project in a manner they think is the best for all parties. As the Pegulas took over control of the team, the Stadium Working Group's task was suspended. That doesn't mean work has stopped on stadium planning.

With seven years left on the team's current lease, you can be sure that inside the Pegula enterprise, plans are being made for what to do next and while it might not be a committee of one, Kim Pegula will have her hands all over the plans as she did with HarborCenter. And that should be reassuring to fans and the NFL.

Friday, Nov. 21, 2014. Snowed out in Buffalo, the Bills are heading to Detroit to play their "home" NFL football game against the New York Jets on Monday night, Nov. 24, 2014. (AP Photo/Gary Wiepert) More Many an NFL owner/team has raked its home city over the coals, temporarily raising taxes to build a new stadium that many of the people who helped pay for it can't afford to attend and agreeing to a deal that puts nearly all of the money in the owner's hands while placing most of the risk in the hands of the city or county.

Not surprisingly, many of those owners now want the Pegulas, who own the Buffalo Bills , to follow their lead. One interesting story that came out of the now-completed NFL spring meetings comes via Vic Carucci of the Buffalo News, who writes that commissioner Roger Goodell, other league executives and other team owners believe it's "imperative" that the Bills replace Ralph Wilson Stadium with a new facility. Opened in 1973 and built for what seems now like a bargain basement cost - $22 million - The Ralph is not even close to the oldest stadium in use in the NFL (there are several older, including the Los Angeles Coliseum, where the Rams will play until their new facility opens, which opened in 1923, and the Chicago Bears' Soldier Field, which opened in 1924), but it is among the most aesthetically unpleasing, along with O.Co Coliseum, where the Oakland Raiders play, and Qualcomm Stadium, home to the San Diego Chargers. But to hear other owners tell it, the Bills could be in big trouble if they don't build soon.

“It gets tougher and tougher to compete when all these new stadiums are going up and” the Bills are “going to be at a disadvantage, I think, somewhat competitively unless they get one,” New York Giants owner John Mara told the Buffalo News. “We’d all like to see them get a new building.” Mara continued, “I don’t think it’s urgent like it has to happen tomorrow. But I think, for the long-term best interests of that franchise, they need to be in a new building. Listen, we’ve been in much worse stadiums, believe me. And they still have great fan support. But there’s a growing disparity in income between the top quartile teams and the bottom quartile teams, and that’s something we have to be conscious of. And a new stadium would help them a great deal.” Terry and Kim Pegula, who bought the Bills in 2014 after iconic founding owner Wilson died, spent $1.4 billion to buy the franchise.

While Carucci reports the NFL would like to see a new stadium for the Bills in the next five years or so and considers it an urgent matter, it wasn't discussed with the Pegulas during this week's meetings, nor was the matter on the docket at the sessions specifically discussing stadium updates. Interestingly, while those outside Buffalo seem to think it's of utmost importance for the Bills to build, those inside Buffalo don't seem to agree. In a companion piece to Carucci's story, the Buffalo News offers a story on where things stand with a new stadium, and at the moment they're standing in the middle of an empty field, all alone. Though a New York state-commissioned report identified four potential sites for a new facility, that report came out over a year ago, and Bills president Russ Brandon said the group has since been suspended. Last summer, Terry Pegula said a new stadium is "nothing urgent right now," and Gov. Andrew Cuomo told the News a new stadium will be dealt with "when we have to." And Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz last year asked the NFL to give him financial records of other teams as a way of making the case that a new stadium is necessary.

"They have to prove to me that the Bills can't be viable in Ralph Wilson Stadium. If we're going to build a new stadium, I want to see something that really proves we need a new stadium," Poloncarz said last summer. It is unclear whether Poloncarz received those financial documents, though given how ferociously NFL owners guard that information, our guess is his request was met with a firm "no." In a poll of just over 500 voters conducted 14 months ago at the behest of the Buffalo News and WGRZ-TV, results were evenly split, with 48 percent of respondents saying taxpayers should pay some of the costs, while the same number said taxpayers should not pay any of the costs. The state and Eric County footed the $130 million bill for the renocations done to Ralph Wilson Stadium in 2014, though one NFL executive who requested anonymity in talking with Carucci said no one was in favor of the improvements. Read More “No, it isn’t” a major renovation, the official said. “In fact, I was not for that renovation. None of us were.

In other words, we thought we should have gone right to the question of what should be the big renovation or a new facility. Because if you’re going to build one, you’re going to try to break ground within five or 10 years from now. If you’re going to do that, then you sort of didn’t need to spend that $130 million. You should have saved that for the new facility. “But Cuomo being Cuomo, that’s what he wanted to do and the former owner [Ralph Wilson] that’s what he wanted to do. So they did it. I think the fans will enjoy the change in amenities, but I don’t think it will reset the clock other than for a few years.” Brandon, the Bills' president, defended The Ralph, which seats over 73,000 for games. "The building has great bones, it has great sight lines, and it has great tailgating,” Brandon said. “Do we have the bells and whistles of all the new facilities that are on line today? No. But one of the things is that we’re a volume business. We have a lot of suites, we have a lot of club seats, we have a lot of seats in the building.

Everything that we do is affordable. But at the same time, part of adding additional suites and additional club seats at our price points was to stay in line with the new NFL at the time, going all the way back to 1999. “Obviously, you always have great respect for what your (league) partners (want), but we have to focus on what makes sense for us, what makes sense for our community, for our business partners.” New stadiums lead to higher ticket prices, and while the U.S. Census Bureau projects Erie County has increased its population since 2010 after 30 years of decline, Brandon notes that the greater Buffalo area is not home to multiple Fortune 500 companies. The implication there is that major companies have well-compensated executives and employees who could more easily afford more expensive tickets or suites. Last year, Nerdwallet.com ranked the Bills 26th in terms of average ticket cost, at $147.75. The Pegulas and the Bills do have one surprising ally: Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, he of the sprawling palace known as JerryWorld, who was at Ralph Wilson Stadium last season with his team.

He told Carucci it was a well-maintained building and that he doesn't consider replacing it a necessity. He did add, however, that after a couple of years of ownership, the Pegulas may figure out for themselves that a new stadium will be needed to increase franchise revenues. Reblog Buffalo Bills reach agreement on Ralph Wilson Stadium lease comment ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills aren't going anywhere any time soon, and the team's CEO, Russ Brandon, guaranteed it Friday. "Guaranteed," Brandon said at a hastily called news conference, announcing the Bills had agreed to sign a new 10-year lease with the state and county to continue playing at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The Bills reportedly have reached an agreement with Erie County and the state on a lease deal for Ralph Wilson Stadium that will keep the franchise in western New York. AP Photo/Scott Boehm "This is a monumental day for us," he added. "The Buffalo Bills are right here in western New York, where we're going to be for many decades to come." It's a $271 million deal, of which $130 million will be committed to upgrading an aging stadium that opened in 1973.

And the agreement includes a commitment to put aside funds and establish an advisory group to explore the potential of building a new stadium for the franchise. Just as important, the agreement includes a provision that essentially locks the Bills in for the next seven seasons. The franchise would have to pay $400 million if it decides to leave before 2020. The team then has the option of buying out the remaining three years of the lease for $28 million. "This is an investment that the state is making. It's an investment in the Bills. It's an investment in western New York. And I'm proud to make that investment," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said, speaking via a satellite television hookup from New York City because stormy weather prevented him from flying upstate. A memorandum of understanding with the terms of the agreement was signed Friday, with the actual lease still to be finalized. It's subject to review by the NFL and during budgeting by the state and Erie County. The deal was reached before the Bills' existing 15-year lease expires at the end of July. And the price tag for renovations is significantly lower than the $200 million Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz projected it would be when talks first began last spring.

In a breakdown of costs provided by officials, state and county taxpayers are on the hook for $226.8 million for the duration of the lease. That includes a series of annual payments for annual capital and game-day expenses. Of that total, the state and county are committed to making a one-time payment of $94.5 million next year for stadium upgrades, which will include getting new scoreboards, widening concourses and building a new plaza. The Bills' share for those upgrades will be $35.455 million. "Those that would criticize the state and Erie County for investing taxpayer money to keep the Bills here would be the same ones criticizing if the Bills left," Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy said. "If we were to lose them, that would be a shot into the morale of this community and this state that could not be understated." The deal comes at a time when fears were again being raised about the long-term stability of a team based in the United States' 56th largest television market, and in a Rust Belt region. The Bills often have been mentioned as being a target for relocation.

Another issue is the status of the team's Hall of Fame owner Ralph Wilson, who turned 94 in October and whose health is slipping. Wilson spent about a week in the hospital in late August because of an undisclosed illness. Though committed to keeping the Bills in Buffalo during his lifetime, Wilson has not made any commitments regarding the team following his death. He has made it clear that he intends to have his heirs sell the franchise, opening the possibility of the team being purchased by someone interested in relocating the team. Brandon said Wilson's loyalty to Buffalo has never wavered, and he took offense when asked what might happen to the franchise once Wilson dies. "The question becomes tiresome. I understand it, but it's become tiresome," Brandon said. "Mr. Wilson's loyalty is unmatched as any owner in professional sports. And I think we should be here today to applaud him." Wilson was not present for the announcement. He hasn't made a public appearance since attending the Hall of Fame induction ceremony festivities in Canton, Ohio, in early August. Brandon previously dismissed discussions of the Bills' need for a new stadium, saying the team was committed to continuing to play at its current home. He's now open to the possibility of a new venue.

"We're going to look at the potential of a new stadium in the next decade or so, and see if it makes sense for our community," Brandon said. With the New York Giants and Jets both playing in New Jersey, the Bills are the NFL's only team based in New York. It's estimated that the state annually earns $20 million in taxes from the Bills. "This is a forward-looking agreement that thinks about not just today," Poloncarz said. "But it's also forward-looking so that we do what's necessary so that at the end of this 10-year period, we're not just wondering, 'What do we do now?' " The agreement includes a clause limiting the Bills to playing one annual home game and a preseason game once every two years in Toronto. That's similar to the five-year agreement between the Bills and Toronto-based Rogers Communications to have the team play north of the border. The two sides have been in negotiations and are close to renewing the agreement.

Mara, left, says the Bills are “going to be at a disadvantage, I think, somewhat competitively” unless they get a new stadium. (Getty Images) Published Wed, Mar 23, 2016 Updated Tue, Oct 18, 2016 BOCA RATON, Fla. – The Buffalo Bills say there’s no rush to build a new stadium. The NFL sees it differently. Commissioner Roger Goodell, executives at the league office and owners of other NFL teams believe it’s imperative that the Bills have a new stadium. They see it as vital to the team’s ability to compete in a climate where other teams, along with the rest of the league, are able to reap the financial benefits newer facilities provide through higher prices and additional revenue opportunities. A source with intimate knowledge of the NFL’s stadium situations described Ralph Wilson Stadium as one of the “three worst stadiums in the league,” along with those in Oakland and San Diego. It will look only worse when compared to state-of-the-art palaces such as AT&T Stadium in Dallas, MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., and the new stadium in Los Angeles that will be the home of the former St.

Louis Rams in 2019. “It gets tougher and tougher to compete when all these new stadiums are going up and” the Bills are “going to be at a disadvantage, I think, somewhat competitively unless they get one,” New York Giants owner John Mara said. “We’d all like to see them get a new building.” How soon? The NFL would love it to happen in five years or so. It considers it an urgent matter, although apparently not so urgent that other owners or league officials brought it up with Bills owners Terry and Kim Pegula, who were not available to comment, or team President Russ Brandon, during the NFL meetings at the Boca Raton Resort & Club. Nor was a Buffalo facility discussed in sessions dealing with stadium updates. “I don’t think it’s urgent like it has to happen tomorrow,” Mara said. “But I think, for the long-term best interests of that franchise, they need to be in a new building. Listen, we’ve been in much worse stadiums, believe me. And they still have great fan support. But there’s a growing disparity in income between the top quartile teams and the bottom quartile teams, and that’s something we have to be conscious of.

And a new stadium would help them a great deal.” Said Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, “In general, older stadiums need to be made financially competitive. It’s a must. It makes the odds a lot tougher. You need to have a viable, financially well-thought-out stadium to compete in the league.” That could be of the newer variety, or those, such as the one in Jacksonville, Fla., that have undergone major upgrades. The NFL doesn’t see the $130-million face-lift of The Ralph as major. “No, it isn’t,” said a league official, who requested anonymity. “In fact, I was not for that renovation. None of us were. In other words, we thought we should have gone right to the question of what should be the big renovation or a new facility. Because if you’re going to build one, you’re going to try to break ground within five or 10 years from now. If you’re going to do that, then you sort of didn’t need to spend that $130 million. You should have saved that for the new facility. “But,” Gov.

Andrew “Cuomo being Cuomo, that’s what he wanted to do and the former owner,” Ralph Wilson, “that’s what he wanted to do. So they did it. I think the fans will enjoy the change in amenities, but I don’t think it will reset the clock other than for a few years.” Brandon said the Bills are not worried about the structural integrity of The Ralph. “The building has great bones, it has great sight lines, and it has great tailgating,” he said. “Do we have the bells and whistles of all the new facilities that are on line today? No. But one of the things is that we’re a volume business. We have a lot of suites, we have a lot of club seats, we have a lot of seats in the building. Everything that we do is affordable. But at the same time, part of adding additional suites and additional club seats at our price points was to stay in line with the new NFL at the time, going all the way back to 1999.

“Obviously, you always have great respect for what your (league) partners” want, “but we have to focus on what makes sense for us, what makes sense for our community, for our business partners.” A new stadium would undoubtedly drive up the cost of attending games. It creates the distinct possibility of pricey personal seat licenses to buy season tickets that are far more expensive than what fans are accustomed to paying for a team whose ticket prices have been among the most affordable in the NFL. Another challenge would be filling premium seats and luxury suites that also would be much more expensive in a new stadium. “We’ve seen a great rebirth in Buffalo that everyone’s excited about, but we’re not a multi-Fortune 500 city,” Brandon said. “People talk to me a lot of times about Minnesota, they compare us to Minnesota. Those markets are two very different markets. So we want to make it right for the long-term future of the organization from what our fans want and from what our stakeholders want.

“I will tell you that we hear from our fans and survey our fans and stakeholders continually on fan engagement, best practices, so on and so forth, and I can tell you unequivocally the stadium is never really brought up as something of discontent with our fans.” So if the fans aren’t clamoring for a new stadium and the Bills aren’t pushing for one, then why should anyone supporting the team in the community have an interest in one being built? “A big part of it is revenue,” the league official said. “And if the team just continues to fall behind, while this owner may be OK with it, a future owner may not. So it’s not a good thing for any club to fall so far behind the pack.” Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who was at The Ralph with his team last December, was impressed with how well the facility was maintained and would not characterize replacing it as a necessity. He also said he has not heard fellow NFL owners complaining about where the Bills play. However, Jones believes the Pegulas recognize what it takes to keep pace competitively with the rest of the league and will figure out a long-term stadium solution.

“They walked in the room as one of the best owners in the NFL; I’d say top five,” Jones said. “And so once they assess it with a season or two, look at it, if there is any issue there, they won’t need (the rest of the league’s) ownership to tell them about it.” Said Mara, “I’d like to see them get a new stadium. I want to see them remain in Western New York. They’re too important to that part of the state and they have such a great fan base, such great fan support there. It’s really where they belong.” Once, a new stadium seemed like a priority for the Bills. Once, there was something called a “new stadium working group” comprising officials from the Bills, New York State and Erie County. That was when the Bills’ future in Western New York was uncertain, when the team was up for sale and the Pegulas had yet to purchase it and put so much of that anxiety to rest. There hasn’t been a peep from the new stadium working group in a long time, which raises the question: Is it still working? “It’s actually been suspended, I guess you could say,” Brandon said.

Brandon acknowledged that replacing The Ralph, where the Bills have played since 1973, is “a hot topic” about which he is asked frequently. “And I can tell you directly that we’ve had zero discussions relative to anything related to a new stadium with the county, the state at this point,” Brandon said. “With the lease being up when it is (through 2022), there’s going to be very thoughtful conversation in both the private and public sector down the road if” building a new stadium is “the route we go. But we have to make a macro-level decision that benefits the entire community.” email: vcarucci@buffnews.com $22 Buffalo Bills Tickets 2016 | Rukkus Showing events 0-0 of 0 Buffalo Bills Event Information How Do I Buy The Best Buffalo Bills tickets?

This is rather disappointing because, not the least of which is the fact that the Bills are actually the only NFL franchise to even play its games in the state of New York. It’s also disappointing because Buffalo has had years and years of great success in the country’s most popular sport. What a difference a nickname can make.

It is hard to know for sure if things would be different if the Buffalo Bills were the New York Bills, or if the Jets and Giants were both fashioned with New Jersey monikers. Nevertheless, Buffalo has become the third wheel. It is surprising because, while the Giants have a number of league titles under their belt, Buffalo is arguably the more successful franchise when compared to the Jets, even though it lacks that ring. The Bills are among a group of teams who have made championship appearances but never escaped with the victory. Along with the Minnesota Vikings , the Bills have done so on four separate occasions. The team has been in the NFL since the start: the AFL-NFL merger in 1970. Prior to that, it played 10 years in the AFL, winning two league titles in the process. Of course, those championships are long forgotten and are never considered when discussing NFL success. They came a few seasons too early. Once the two leagues merged, Buffalo continued some semblance of success but never got over the hump. It made postseason appearances five times in the 1970s and 80s leading up to the pinnacle of Bills history.

After making the playoffs in 1988 and 1989, the Bills went on a historic run never before seen in the sport’s history. They made it to four consecutive Super Bowl s from 1990 through 1993. There though came heartache and heartbreak. 1990 – Lost to the Giants 20-19 1991 – Lost to the Washington Redskins 37-24 1992 – Lost to the Dallas Cowboys 52-17 1993 – Lost to the Cowboys again, 30-13 Four straight AFC titles resulted in four straight Super Bowl losses, each more excruciating than the last because of the added breadth of the accomplishment. Since those early 90s days, it has been slow progress for the franchise. There have been only four postseason berths since and none since the turn of the century. Instead, the Bills have fallen into mediocrity, only recently buoyed by a 9-7 season in 2014, just their second winning season since the year 2000. Buffalo should be remembered and thought of for more than title failure though.

There are so many wonderful players and personalities in this team’s history, starting as early as the 1970s. O.J. Simpson joined the Bills in 1969 out of USC and joined the NFL with them the following year. Soon after that transition, it became evident that Simpson was one of the best players in the league, let alone at his own position. In 1972, just his second full season (which was only 14 games back then), he ran for 1,251 yards and six touchdowns. The very next season, Simpson was the best player in the sport, rushing for 2,003 yards, 12 touchdowns and winning the NFL MVP award. His dominance, although not quite on that level again, continued for three more seasons after that. As Buffalo wallowed in mediocrity, Simpson excelled. All in all, O.J. ran for over 11,000 yards in his career and scored 75 total touchdowns. He was elected into the Hall of Fame in 1985, the first year he was on the ballot.

To this day, he remains the only player to ever rush for 2,000 yards in a 14-game season. While post-career actions off the field rightfully form folks’ opinion of Simpson now, he remains one of the greatest running backs who ever lived. He also has some Bills company in the football Hall of Fame though. The early 90s teams overwhelm Bills’ lure, and their influence is felt heavily in the HoF as well. Marv Levy (inducted in 2001), Jim Kelly (2002), Thurman Thomas (2007), Bruce Smith (2009) and Andre Reed (2014) were all main cogs in the championship run. Levy, the only non-player of the bunch, piloted the team to all four of its Super Bowl s. Then there’s the skill-position trio of Kelly, Thomas and Reed. Kelly and Reed are all-time greats at their position. Thomas, overshadowed a bit by the others, was a spectacular back who led the league in all-purpose yards for four years in a row from 1989 through 1992 thanks to his supreme rushing/receiving balance.

Thomas topped 1,000 rushing yards for eight straight years. He was tremendous, and the stats help his performances live on. Kelly lives more in the stories than on the stat sheet. He was the 14th-overall pick in the famed 1983 NFL Draft . His passing numbers don’t stand up to the figures guys today are reaching because it was a different era for offensive football. Kelly never threw the ball more than 480 times in any season of his career. For some comparison, Drew Brees has topped 480 pass attempts 11 different seasons. He’s topped 600 attempts seven of those seasons! But Kelly still stands the test of time because of his leadership and playoff chops. As does Reed who, even with the ballooning passing outputs of teams today, ranks 15th all-time in receiving yards. It wouldn’t be fair to gloss over the defensive heart of those title teams, that being Bruce Smith. The Virginia Tech product is second in history in playoff sacks and number one all-time in career sacks. He is the only man to reach the 200-sack threshold, and he hit it on the nose.

The closest active sack artist, Jared Allen, remains close to 70 sacks behind Smith’s mark. Buffalo is looking to get back to that early 90s culture of winning. It may be on its way, although the process has been slow, having taken a number of detours. The Bills ventured into Canada for a number of regular seasons to play a game in the Rogers Centre in Toronto. They scrapped their old buffalo animal logo for a revamped, active buffalo/stripe combination. They dealt with the death of owner Ralph Wilson and then renamed their stadium in Wilson’s honor. Through the lean years and the consecutive postseasons, Buffalo has remained New York’s franchise, even if the state passes it off because the city doesn’t claim it. Today’s Bills, with the newly acquired and electric LeSean McCoy at running back, the sensational second-year receiver Sammy Watkins on the outside and a punishing defense, are looking to make enough waves and headlines that no one will be able to forget about them.
